CHAPTER 48 He Killed Her

Kassandra's POV

Well, like what Erica said earlier, a band is coming here. People crowd the restaurant on the first floor, holding banners and lighting objects. 

Must it be the band's light sticks?

I remembered something the same from Lynette. She was a die-hard BTS fan, and she collected everything that had the group's photo. 

She's obsessed. 

I walk straight to the counter to order the food. There is another room inside the restaurant, and people are all inside —the group is probably there. 

Good day, Madame. May I have your orders? 

Parmesan with wild garlic starts, please. 

She types onto the screen. 

Red Sauce too, I added pasta.

Are these for to go, Madame? 

Hearing her call me Madame is honestly a bit off since I often heard Clayden use it to call me. 

I look back at her, and the lady is showing me her best smile. So I returned the courtesy before nodding my head. Yeah.

It's for 203 dollars.

My eyes seem to get out of its socket, hearing the total. I look at the screen to check my orders. Two fucking foods that cost over 200 fucking dollars?! 

Are these golds? I whispered to myself, but I was certain that the woman heard me. 

She chuckles a little, looking behind me as if she is waiting for someone to get inside the place. 

I then remembered what Clasyden had said earlier. 

Uhm, take it from Clayden Rousseau.

The lady seems to be surprised hearing me mention Clayden's name. I can also sense the inhibition on her face, but she still nods her head despite the uncertainty. 

Oh well. 

While waiting for my order, people started screaming at the top of their lungs. My head frowns as I watch everyone run towards the pool of people, and there are four men being guarded by security guards wearing an all-black outfits. I watch how the boys are smiling while fans are trying to hold them while I am here, having a hard time with them. 

Popularity sometimes sucks. 

Madame? 

I turn to face the woman who worked for my order. Mister Rousseau has acknowledged the receipt of your purchase. Enjoy your meal. She smiled. 

I forced a smile before I walked away, wanting to get out from the sea of people as well. 

Erica must be somewhere. Although I am curious how those men sound when singing, I object to staying here for a long. 

I am famished.

When I was about to head towards the lift, I saw a familiar figure going out from it, and he was with another very familiar woman. 

I immediately hide in the nearest wall, not wanting those people to see me. 

Lynette and Max... I whispered under my breath. 

My eyes move back at them, and they are already heading inside her restaurant. Lynette is smiling, very unlikely to how she was acting before when Max was near. 

Are they together now? 

Then reality suddenly struck me like lightning. 

How long have I been lost? One month? Two? 

Right, almost two. 

And why did I expect that their life would also stop the moment I lost their sight? Of course, the world will continue despite how reality sucks me. Why did I not even think that they must be worried, but they are still capable of continuing their life? 

Even without me. 

I then remembered Montgomery. I missed him. God knows how I really miss him. The daily laughs we shared, his sweetness, the way he respects me, protects me, spoils me... everything! 

A tear escaped from my eyelids. 

Why did I even think of hiding? Isn't what I like first hand? 

I wanted to escape and ran away from Clayden. That was my plan before!

But why am I acting like a tamed puppy? I have the chance now!

My friends are around. I can easily ask for their help. 

I get back upstairs to Clayden's unit feeling empty. The food didn't look appetizing anymore, even though I was hungry. 

I don't feel like eating. 

Instead of opening the paper bag, I went straight to the bed and hid under the sheets. 

I cried. 

I don't know. 

I just feel a little empty all of a sudden. 

I missed how my life was before Clayden happened. 

Hours got by, and I didn't realize that I had already fallen asleep. The loud ringtone of a phone is just waking me up from nowhere. 

My hands flew to my face when I felt the dried face there. I then stand up to look for the phone. 

Where did I put it? I murmured to myself while following the loud sound. 

Gotcha. I whispered and saw that Clayden was the caller. 

Clayden...

I can't come home tonight. He said. 

I fell silent. Why? I wanted to ask him, but I realized that I would sound clingy if I went that way.

I am back in the pack. He heaved a deep sigh. 

So he's back in the woods...

Is everything all right there? 

I-I killed someone today, Kassandra... 

I don't know if it's just me but his voice trembles. My heart clenched at the sound of his heavy breathing but scared simultaneously. 

He... what?

My silence seems to catch him off-guard. I can only hear his breathing from the other line while also speechless. Neither how to react. 

That is supposedly not new to me since I always knew that he could kill and he has the capability of killing--but those words coming out of his mouth is horrifying.

J-Jarred... 

The mention of the other person caught my attention. My heartbeat tripled as I waited for him to continue what he was about to say.

W-What about him? I asked despite my trembling voice.

My heartbeats are louder than any sound that this world can offer. 

Cameo's puppets attacked Jarred and his soldiers. The rouges are scattered around the place, and Jarred is unprepared. And Camella was also there.

The agonizing trail he keeps on making is coming to me out of frustration. 

How is he? I asked, trying my best to be calm.

He's being cared for by the doctor, but Camella...

I killed her.

CHAPTER 49 Rogue!

Clayden's POV

I cuss under my breath while I am in the middle of working. The constant images of Kassandra's innocent face keep me distracted for the whole hours of working. I left her when she told me rouges deserve second chances. 

Just because I allowed Jarred to have it, it doesn't mean each one of them deserves it. 

I groaned one more time. She doesn't know a thing, Clayden, damn it, I whispered to myself while leaning on my swivel chair. 

To my annoyance, my hands move and grab the phone on top of my desk, and before I could even protest, I already dialed my own number to call Kassandra. 

Damd this wolf. I talked inside my head. 

My forehead creases when I dial a number of times, but no one answers her phone. I panicked and called the tower personnel to check on the CCTV to see if Kassandra had left the unit. 

She entered the next unit, Sir. I heard the man say. 

Just by that, my veins started to shake, thinking if what she was doing inside that place. Whoever is the owner of that unit will be fucking killed. 

I know! I am becoming irrational at the moment, but the anger inside me is not subsiding. 

My wolf is screaming in possessiveness. 

I tried to focus back on my papers and kept on trying to defend Kassandra herself. She must be bored, and I remembered that she wanted to make friends. 

I already took her from her people. I think she deserves to meet another person she could talk with... at least. 

That's right. 

Give it a calm, Clayden, or you'll choke her. 

Another peaceful hour passed until I finally decided to call back.

Good thing she answered and to what I expected, the love of my life felt bored alone, that's why she tried roaming around the floor. 

Okay, I am trying to understand her. 

After the call ended, I suspected that she was already on her way to the restaurant for her food. As much as I was worried that she'd run away, I remained calm and decided to resist her instead. 

In the middle of my internal fiascos, Monica called. 

Alpha, Jarred is powerlessly compared to Cameo's people. Our soldiers are decreasing!

To my cue, I immediately pulled out my car keys and dropped the call. I called my most trusted men: Heather, Jax, and Clyde, to come to where Jarred is located. 

I was not really expecting a fuss from Cameo today! 

What about his sudden attacks?!

Alpha! I looked to my left and saw Monica running toward where I parked my car. 

My brows furrowed. You're in the tower? 

I was working on Felix's shipping lines and his deal in the black market when Jarred called. 

We both entered my car, and I drove it as fast as I could. 

When we reach the alley of tall trees, Monica and I look at each other before going out. 

I wanted you to call the Royal Pack and give them alerts. Cameo might be heading to the King while his people are disturbing Jarred. 

But Alpha, what about you? 

I stared at her. Worry is visible in her eyes, and she is contemplating if she shall really leave me for the King. 

I am the Alpha. Follow my words without questioning them.

Despite her uncertainty, Monica shifted to her wolf and disappeared into the middle of the vast forest. I sniff the air while closing my eyes, feeling and sniffing the harm that nature is bringing today. 

And I smelled blood. 

Lots of it. 

My wolf automatically growls to meet ends. In a split second, I shifted into my wolf form and ran toward the direction where I could sense danger.

It's on the East border. 

A wolf came running from the other direction towards where I was and saw Heather coming. He must have been coming from his pack and ran immediately after my call. 

We both look at each other and run in the same direction. 

Heather growled when a rouge jumped from nowhere. He lashed it with his claws, and the poor creature flew back away from us. 

The latter looks back at me before nodding his head a little, telling me that he'll run ahead of me. 

It's a sign that he is trying to protect me. 

One should stay in front of an Alpha in a fight. But I don't want my people to fight because they wanted to protect the Alpha—to protect me. I wanted them to fight because someone has to save the powerless. 

Fuck it! I heard Jax's voice from a near distance. I growled, wanting him to know that I was already around the place. 

Why isn't he shifting?

Another loud voice is heard next to Jax. I don't know who owns that one, so I trailed around opposite where Heather is going. 

Alpha, it's a rogue! 

I stopped midway, looking at the familiar enrage woman with blonde hair. Later on, another figure of a man came out from the vast forest. 

He is bleeding. Almost falling. 

But the fool is still trying to get on his toes, wanting to go near the rogue. 

Jarred hasn't still noticed me. I watch him take a step close to Camella, but the latter is rigid, not wanting anyone near her. 

She's under the spell of Cameo. 

Fuck it, Helius! Her sword is silver!

Jarred constantly shakes his head while still trying to get close Camella. She pointed it to Jarred, but the man didn't even bulge at the sight of the sword being pointed near his throat. 

My pupil shakes. I shifted back to human form. 

Seeing my men covered with blood is nothing, but watching a traitor trying to kill my people is horrendous. 

No one. Not even this clueless woman can stand against me, sheathing her sword to my people. 

Alpha... Heather called from behind me.

He's already here. 

I give him a side glance. The rouge earlier? 

All cleaned.

I turn to look back at Helius. I am not aware of what happened to their group earlier that he is blooded like this, but one thing is for sure, he can't kill the woman. 

My veins are shaking when the blade starts to wound Jarred. 

Son of a bitch. I didn't save you before just to be killed by this rouge!

Alpha—

Camella's reflexes are fast. She immediately sheath the sword to my side. Good thing I quickly get away from it. 

A-Alpha, no... Jarred begged while shaking his head. 

Helius, that's not Camella anymore! I heard Heather exclaim. 

Yet to no avail; he seems not to hear anything. He steps forward again, near Camella's leg. Later on, his hand is already on the woman's leg, hugging it tight while crying. 

God damn it, Jax cussed under his breath while trying to stand up. 

Camella froze on her spot. So I stopped, either. 

One chance, Helius, one chance. I silently said to myself.

C-Camella... 

The woman is shaking while looking down. Her hand holding a sword is shaking as if trying to recollect her thoughts. 

J-Jarred?

I look away. 

This fool! 

P-please. Let's stop this. Give it up. We can beg the Alpha for a new life. J-just... He spits blood. Just accept defe—urgh! 

Everyone gasped. Even I. 

The bitch has already pushed the sword to Jarred. 

You wench! 

With Jarred's last strength, he watches me point my sword at his lover. I can clearly see the tear escaping from his eyes as I pull the sword out from Camella. 

Straight to her heart, she landed down on the ground. 

FUCK! FUCK! Heather exclaimed as he ran towards Jarred. 

Alpha! I even heard Vernon's voice coming with another batch of werewolves. 

I look up, shaking.

Kassandra's face is flashing in my head. 

She must be disappointed. 

My innocent Kassandra. I'm sorry. I killed again.

CHAPTER 50 I'm Yours

Kassandra's POV

I was pacing back and forth around the common area while waiting for Clayden to come home. Killing isn't new to him.

He's the Alpha of his pack. And I have seen him kill someone even before in that parking lot. But earlier, he sounded so broke and scared.

I don't know.

I have so many thoughts piling up inside my head. How was Jarred? Did Camella really die? How? What happened earlier in the camp? Why is Clayden trembling from the second line?

My eyes fly towards the door when it opens. My heart was beating so fast when I saw Clayden entering the place. His white shirt is folded to his elbow, and his tie is loose already. He looks like a mess—but I must admit, the man still looks so beautiful.

Clayden, I called him.

His eyes landed on mine. I walk close to him while clasping both of my palms together, wanting to hear him speak.

Are you okay?

His brows arc. You would not hate me again, right?

I stare long at his deep blue eyes. It certainly looks pleading and tired at the same time.

Kassandra, you won't leave me because of this, no? I just did it to protect Jarred. She was going to kill him, so I leash her chest.

Clayden, I cup his face. I know. I know it. Why are you acting like this? I whispered.

He stares at me for a long time, giving me the same proximity of stares that I have given him. I felt him move his hands, and it pulls me to his side. His arms are circling around my waist while still looking me in the eye.

I am just scared. I don't want you to be scared of me anymore. That's why as much as I can, I don't want to put blood on my hand. But earlier, I killed Camella. I killed the lover of my friend, Kassandra.

My nose reddens when I feel Clayden's head on my shoulder. He is sniffing like a kid telling his Mom about how bad his day was.

He's not the Clayden I knew months ago.

Today, he's like a cracking glass that is very close to breaking.

He's so fragile.

Jarred was begging me not to kill her. But I could not just stand there and watch him get killed by a rogue. He doesn't deserve to die like that. Jarred deserves life. But his love for Camella is bigger than his own. And I was so mad at the thought of that.

We have been standing in the same spot for a long time. Clayden still buries his face in my neck while I remain standing as I rub his back. Even if my legs were starting limp from the position, I did not bother making a fuss.

I can't help but heave a deep sigh. What happened to the Clayden Daveed Rousseau I knew from before? Why is he becoming soft for me all of a sudden? He wasn't like this when I met him. He was tough, mad, and cold. He was like a stone, welcoming me to his dark abode, but he is a different person right now.

Did I make him like this?

But why?

Kassandra, Clayden called my name in a whisper as he started to trail kisses on my neck. I can even feel him sniffing me there whilst I remain standing, but my fist is balled now.

I bit my lower lip. His breathing was like fire, igniting my inner hotness. His lips went to my earlobe. He started biting it, so I closed my eyes.

Clayden, s-stop...

Liar! I exclaimed inside, making Clayden chuckle in between his kisses.

I can't help but bit my lower lip. How long would it take me to accept the fact that whenever Clayden is around, my thoughts would be deemed exposed?

He can read me, damn it.

His other hand found my thighs, and I felt he was already carrying me. Clayden started walking, and he made me lie on the nearest couch in the living room.

Clayden, don't, I told him, even though my insides are really trembling for more of his kisses.

Dirty hypocrite. I told myself.

What didn't you understand from the phrase, from now on, you're mine, Kassandra? Hmm? He asked. I want you, Honey.

God.

Were you just acting like a lost puppy earlier just to get in between my legs? You planned this? I jokingly asked, making the latter chuckle while leaving soft kisses from my cheeks to my shoulder.

I was really sad earlier, Kassandra, don't make me look like a hungry wolf.

My eyes widened when I felt his finger tracing my folds inside my underwear. He hummed while the other hand was helping me remove my clothes.

See? You are willing.

I blushed. Clayden!

He laughed and made his way down.

Hmm, someone's excited. He grinned at me. I gasped hard when he entered his finger inside me. He was just looking at me, and I knew that he could see my reaction as he rubbed his finger on my clit. My eyes widened, and my mouth literally fell and formed an 'O' shape.

Clayden grinned hard; it was as if he liked what he was seeing. His strokes were rough; there was no tenderness at all. I put both of my hands on my mouth to keep myself from screaming because that's what I want to do. I want to scream his name.

Don't close your eyes, Kassandra. I wanted you to look me in the eye. He mumbled while still stroking his finger up and down inside me.

Look at me as you come. He ordered.

I was fighting hard not to close my eyes as he had told me. I was catching my breath as I tried so hard not to scream then he put another finger inside me.

Two fingers are coming in and out inside me.

Fuck. My walls are shaking. My pupils are deliriously rolling upward as I feel the tension.

You're so tight, damn it. He whispered.

Clayden is already kneeling on the floor as he does me. So tight, so wet... He added while watching my face.

Our eyes match the intensity as he continues the rhythm. Do you want me to go faster? His voice was smooth and husky. I felt my walls contract, and moments later, I exploded into a million tiny pieces.

He grinned evilly. Clayden put his two fingers inside his mouth and licked it clean. Not only that, your lips taste good.

I squirmed when I felt his finger inside me again.

Clayden, I moaned because of the feeling.

Open your mouth, Kassandra.

I swallowed hard.

I opened my mouth, and just like what he did to himself earlier, he put that finger inside my mouth. Lick it clean so that you'll know why I want you so bad. He said.

I obeyed him. I could not believe that I tasted my own on his finger - while his finger was in my mouth, he started kissing my neck, and moments later, I was writhing with pleasure one more time.

Clayden, shit. I kept on calling him.

He hiked up my nighties and entered his long shaft without warning.

He pushes in and out of me while his eyes are closed, as if he is putting all his emotions inside me. Clayden is still wearing his clothes except for his pants, which are on his knees now.

My eyes caught a glimpse of his length going in and out inside me, and that sight alone made me roll my head back on the couch.

Damn, you're so tight, Kassandra. Fuck, mine!

His pace doubles until he drops both of his arms on both sides of me. He keeps pushing himself while we are both staring at each other.

The sad eyes earlier were long gone. All I see now is a hungry Alpha who constantly claimed me as his.

Fuck it! You're not going anywhere from me. You're mine and mine alone! Understand, Kassandra?

I can't answer.

I am so close to coming, and all I care for is how to release myself, but Clayden stopped.

He fucking stopped, so I opened my eyes.

His breathing is fast, and I found him staring at me.

Tell me you're mine...

My heartbeats tripled.

I-I'm yours.

Satisfied with my words, Clayden began to rock my world once again.

I don't know how long our body was connected and how many times we did each other, but the last thing I heard from Clayden was his constant I love you while trailing soft kisses on my ears.

Then I drifted off to sleep.

CHAPTER 51 Erica with Jax?

Kassandra's POV

Is he awake now? 

I woke up from my deep slumber when I heard Clayden's voice speaking with someone on the phone. I held the sheet covering my body when it was about to fall. 

Clayden turns his head to look at me. I'll call you again later. He walks towards
